Jack Draper’s return to tennis will come before the end of 2025 following the British star ending his season early.
Draper exited the US Open due to injury and confirmed he’d miss the remainder of the tournaments in 2025.
The British star had his breakout year in 2025, reaching a career-high ranking of World No. 4, as well as winning his first ATP 1000 event at Indian Wells.
Draper was expected to return to tennis in 2026, but he’s just been confirmed for a tournament in December.
Jack Draper will play the UTS London Grand Final in December
Draper has been given a wild card for the UTS London Grand Final, which begins after the ATP Tour season finishes on December 5.
The Brit is not a stranger to the tournament, having won the London event in 2023 by defeating Holger Rune in the final.
Draper scooped over half a million pounds for his win in 2023, the biggest prize money he’d won until he picked up the Indian Wells title in 2025.
“I have such great memories of winning UTS in front of my home crowd a couple of years ago.” said Jack Draper via the UTS website.
“I think the format really suits my game and it’s so much fun to play. I’m looking forward to getting back out there and competing.”
Casper Ruud and Tomas Machac are the only two other stars confirmed for the Copper Box event in December.
What Jack Draper said after his UTS London win in 2023
Draper’s win at the UTS London Grand Final in 2023 helped propel him into the upper echelons of the ATP Tour.
The star highlighted the opportunity to play with some of the best players in the sport after his landmark win two years ago.
“I think it’s been a really weird format, really fun to play and obviously playing against the best players in the world and getting wins in those matches feels amazing,” he explained.
Draper will be hoping it provides him another platform in 2025 as he looks to bounce back from an injury-riddled second half of the season.
